Reject ICS Upgrade? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Howdy!
Quick question - I'm getting ready to buy my Note from Amazon, however I don't want to upgrade to ICS (sounds like too many bugs right now). How do I keep the upgrade box from popping up? I don't want to accidently say yes. Will it keep asking me to upgrade every few minutes?
Please keep in mind that this is straight out the box firmware. I don't plan to root or anything of that nature.
Thanks!

You can turn off auto update, and checking for new versions in Settings.

This belongs in q&a!!!

That's the new Plus.
Does anyone know if this tmobile 7" plus is going to able to make phone calls from the start? I've been looking for this answer for a while, but couldn't find anything on it... But it does seem like the tmobile version is not going to allow it from the get-go, as there is no mentioning of this capability anywhere...
Someone more knowledgeable chime please!
well since the one I'm on now took the geniouses here at xda to make calls I'm gona go out on a limb and say no calls.

It has the capability and I haven't read anything to suggest T-Mobile will Bogart this from happening. I have the wifi 16 GB version and it's great, but it does have the looking of a phone with an ear piece that I haven't found any function for yet aside from the assumed ability of the T-Mobile version to call out. Great, great device from the original 7 Plus!

Im willing to bet phone is disabled. If not I will leave streak 7 for this. Or wait until xda gets it working. Ive asked tmobile and samsung, both are avoiding the question, samsung says: we can not speculate..
judging from the tmobile ad photo, there is no phone icon on home screen, where as samsung photos have it.
I guess we could always buy one from Europe where it will likely have voice calls...
have to wait and see..

Galaxy S3 Addiction Help

So im pretty new with the Galaxy S3 and android in general. After having this device for a few weeks, it has really messed up my schedule, mainly cause I use it way too much.
So heres my problem. Before I go to bed I use the phone to browse and play for a good 3 hours. Checking XDA, flashing roms, youtube, facebook and a google reader. I end up going to bed at 1 or 1:30 AM. Then I wake up at 8am too late to go to the gym and workout so instead I browse Google Reader (for my morning news) and next thing you know im reeeaaallyy late for work.
So im asking for your help. Is there an app that can disable most functionality or certain apps based on certain times? I know this is a bizzare thing to ask for, but knowing that the Android can do so many things after rooted Im sure its possible. I would be incredibly happy if this phone just would disable itself until I get to work or stop all apps besides phone and sms after like 10:00PM. Kind of like some hardcore parental controls.
I have even started setting alarms to remind me to sleep but even that is not working for me. Self control is hard when it becomes an addiction. Its been 3 weeks I feel like I need my life back. I had no problem going to sleep when all I had was a lousy BlackBerry.

This.... Is.... A... Joke right??? The best solution I can come up with is to take a long look at your life and determine what is more important to u..?? Or set an alarm for a specific time. Once it sounds just turn the brilliance that is the incomparable Galaxy SIII on it's face then if you feel an urge to glance at it more than sleep just think this specific thought. "Perrywinkle needs to tinkle, and Mrs. Claus married Christian Kringle." Idk why but it puts me to sleep and gives me good dreams!!

Stay away from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
With an addictive personality like yours the above three things will have you homeless in 3 days.
On a serious note, there is a great function already built in to the phones for this particular problem and its called the power button, best used in conjunction with some self control.
This genuinely sounds like a cry for help, but the thing is, you are asking to be saved from an inanimate object...

I guess its meant to be a joke.
I am addicted to Diablo 3 instead of S3 though
Im giving tasker a try today. Its not a joke and youre all right, i can simply shut off the device. Im not trolling either but sorry if my question is a waste of your time. But ok, perhaps this is the wrong forum to ask this sort of question. I think i may already have found my solution through tasker. Thanks everyone.

If ICS wont come out like Lg 2x..what smartphone next buy?

As we all know that LG 2x wont get ICS last week..
What smartphone after this, so i can change this atrix?
Droid Razr?
Atrix HD? Or else?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
As other users commented on my thread, it's only cancelled for the Canadian version of O2X. There's still a hope for us Atrix users. And why would you change your phone because you're not getting a software update?
Sent from that Atrix.
All we need is ONE version of ICS to get released, and we are all set.
It's still on par to get released sometime in the 3rd quarter, and last time I checked we're still I'm the 3rd quarter...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Phones don't suddenly stop working if you don't get some future update...
Also, it saves you money to keep it and nobody has canceled anything yet. We have an official statement saying Q3 for the Atrix's ICS update. We then have lots of speculation based on many things regarding it. So let's at least try to stick with Motorola here until they've actually not delivered on their promise.
I'm hoping there will be a new Nexus phone around the end of this year when I am finally able to upgrade. Otherwise, SGS3.

Exactly right. I've never understood this "ZOMG, no updates, must change phone now!!1!11!! eleventy !!1!11!!" logic from supposedly intelligent people. If your phone is very old, sure, I can see upgrading, but a phone that's not even two years old and has what's currently the most prolific version of Android available (Gingerbread)? A phone that, in many ways, still kicks the crap out of most (not all, but most) phones currently in the market? All because it doesn't have a version of Android that, based on what I've seen, has more than a few significant issues on many devices, issues that have been largely resolved with Jellybean (shades of every-other-Windows-release-is-crap syndrome!)? Unbelievable.
I have a better question: what will there be left to talk/worry about once Moto hits us with ICS? JB?

Just make better ROMs and Mods, and keep Atrix growing like the HTC HD2
That gs3 is a beast.. 720p 1.5ghz and 2gb ram. As I recall it lacks HDMI out but I might be wrong. My mom's got one of those after I realized it has an hd screen far and away surpassing the gs2.. plus it's got a.. I'll say lively community

I hate to be the one to say this, but you know when you go back to the root Atrix 4G section, there's a button on the right hand side that says "Search this forum", and if you select "Show posts" and type in "ZTE" and then press "Enter", you'll get around 4 pages of discussion on this topic?
As for which phone to get, a Nexus, I guess. At least if they make one with an SLCD and external storage/32GB internal... I don't really like the lower life-expectancy of AMOLED screens, and I need at least 25GB of data storage space.

4.3 USA

I am using a stock, non-rooted N7 and I haven't gotten the 4.3 update! I am getting a bit irritated. No matter how many times I click check update, 4.2.2 is the 'Up To Date' OS! Is there a way to force the update without having to just flash the new ROM? I don't want to take the time to root it just to get new software I SHOULD be getting soon anyways. Also, if it makes a difference, as I know some updates roll out based on region, I am in the mid USA

Have patience. Also, if you want to update, no need to root, that's a myth on Nexus devices.
Okay thanks. I'm thinking about getting the new one anyways and giving that one away yet. Not sure yet...... I want the update now though :-/

Someone please set me straight.

I have an upgrade available and am considering moving from the One to the SGS 4.
I'm on AT&T. From what I've been reading,and I've been reading for a while now, if my SGS 4 comes with the latest firmware out of the box, I can root it, but Loki, therefore custom ROMS and recovery are out. Is this correct?
I was hoping to be able to put the Google edition ROM on the SGS 4.
Someone please set me straight.
Please and thanks
Correct, if it has the latest firmware than no flashing roms

The firmware version is on the side of the box, if I am not mistaken. I just got my S4 shipped directly from AT&T. It came with MDL.

And mdl is what I want right?
If you want to install custom ROMs, yes.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Typically, at least from what ive seen, the ATT box will have an "Updated" sticker on it if the firmware has been updated. My GS3 had that.
I have both the One and the S4. I don't think I'd give up the one for the s4.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Just go to the store and ask the sales tech to find one that ends in MDL and NOT one that ends in MF3.
It sounds crazy or embarrassing, but it is not! Certainly it is not illegal or wrong to do this.
Others have done that and the AT&T folks really don't care, or if they do select another sales person or even another store (like Best Buy or even Costco and Radio Shack! Those other stores may even have better insurance plans than AT&Ts!)
(As to which phone. ...the HTC One is prettier, and it is unique in design, but would you be happy with less/slower ram, no changeable battery, no SD card, and a smaller screen? The S4 also has some very nice camera options that seem (to me at least) a bit better than the HTC One. Of course, it is all personal preference . . )
Good Luck!
